European scholars generally believe that the main active components of valerian are valepotriates and valerenic acids, and they often use valerenic acid as a standard for evaluating the quality of valerian and valerian extract. However, HPLC analysis has shown that, apart from European valerian, other common valerian varieties contain almost no valerenic acid compounds.
